Romantic
Pick Up Lines

Part of the charm of romantic movies of the 1930s and
40s were some very famous pick-up lines such as “I’d like to run
barefoot through your hair," in “Bombshell" with Jean Harlow and
Franchot Tone. These lines were often said with a wink, a lift of a brow
or a sexy whisper, but their intent made the impact of an arrow and we
love them.
